1. Confront the diagnostic challenge that is Aortic Dissection.
2. Identify key historical points that should raise your suspicion for dissection.
3. Discuss essential exam components in your patients with probable dissection.
4. Examine important risk factors to ask these patients.

Summary1. Aortic dissection is time sensitive.2. AD can masquerade itself.3. Consider this in Chest Pain PLUS 1.4. Exam findings of new murmur, Marfan’s
signs or pulse/neuro deficits could help clinch the diagnosis.
5. Use POCUS to identify tamponade or a flap.6. Listen for history of “wall weakeners” or BP
“surgers”.
